In short, Dfine 2.0 offers you, the photographer, the best in digital noise reduction.
Quick Start Guide
The first step in reducing noise within Dfine 2.0 is to
measure the noise present in your image. This process
enables Dfine 2.0 to determine the characteristics of noise
based on the details found within the current image or
within a previously saved profile to ensure the optimal
level of noise reduction is applied.
Automatic
The Automatic method allows Dfine 2.0 to determine
where the noise structures exist for the current image. The
Automatic process was designed to work for the majority
of the images, and it is recommended that you first start
with the Automatic method. Click on the Measure button to
profile the current image.
Manual
The Manual method enables you to draw Measurement
Rectangles on your image to instruct Dfine 2.0 the
characteristics of the noise that exists within that
particular image.
Click on the Add Measurement Rectangle button, and then
click and drag on an area within the image. You should add a Measurement Rectangle only
on an area of the image where there was not detail in the original scene. Some recommended
image detail to place Measurement Rectangles on are:
- Sky
- Featureless walls
- Other smooth, detail less surfaces
After placing a Measurement Rectangle on the image, click on the Measure button to create a
profile for the current image.
